Cisco Model DPC2434 DOCSIS 2.0 Wireless
Residential Gateway with Two-Line Embedded
Media Terminal Adapter
The Cisco®Model DPC2434 DOCSIS 2.0 Wireless Residential Gateway with Two-Line
Embedded Media Terminal Adapter (DPC2434) is a high-performance home gateway
that combines a cable modem, two-line Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) terminal
adapter, router, and wireless access point in a single device to provide a cost-effective
voice and networking solution for both the home and small office.
The DPC2434 has been designed to meet PacketCable™ 1.5 and 1.0, CableHome®1.1, and
DOCSIS®2.0 specifications. In addition, the DPC2434 is fully backward compatible for use on both
DOCSIS 1.1 and DOCSIS 1.0 networks.
Designed for the active digital home or office, the DPC2434 features an integrated router along
with CableHome-ready Network Address Translation (NAT), a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server, parental control, and firewall technology.
